What a wonderful splash Print

This painting is part of my Water Wars series. There is nothing more refreshing on a hot sunny day than to play with water. We are drawn to its meditative and relaxing properties. Other than air, water is necessary for our survival. In recent years, water agencies have made significant progress towards creating a reliable water supply system. However, California’s water system still faces a number of challenges such as old and insufficient water infrastructure, largely unmanaged groundwater supplies, inefficient water use, and environmental issues. These challenges have become even more difficult to tackle with population growth and higher temperatures. Thus improving water supply management policies and finding sustainable funding sources are essential means for the state to develop an effective and reliable water supply system. My goal with this series is to open up a dialogue about water and what is at stake. Time is represented by the segmentation, motion is the blurred subject matter and place is the collage background. Though a skilled realist, Cody introduces abstract elements into his works to convey motion, depth, and emotion. At some level a homage to the canonical California splash paintings of David Hockney—though with a figure thrown in (perhaps literally)— What a Wonderful Splash shows Cody's ability to capture a split second in paint. -Malcolm Warner, Executive Director of Laguna Art Museum
